The expression analysis of the X-linked miRNAs in infant and adult rhesus monkeys. (A) The expression levels of the mature miRNAs in MIRN513, MIRN506, MIRN507, MIRN508, MIRN509, and MIRN510 showing obvious reductions in adult monkeys. The standard errors are indicated. (B) The electrophoretic gel analysis of MIRN514 expression. From left to right: lane 1, infant1; lane 2, infant2; lane 3, adult1; lane 4, adult2; lane 5, adult3; lane 6, adult4; M, molecular marker. Note: The Human Genome Nomenclature Committee–approved gene symbols currently follow the MIRN# convention (e.g., MIRN513).
